Whenever a new Sheep is released to the FarmVille Market, existing breeds of the same Sheep already on your farm will be able to produce similar type offspring. As of now, if you have illegal Sheep on your farm, they will not produce similar type offspring.
Refer to the chart below for current legal and illegal breeds as of April 29th 2011. This chart is subject to change when new Sheep breeds hit the market.
